When I try to insert an image using the upload tool, I get:

I'm running the current version of Chrome on Windows, with a number of SE-related user-scripts. Confirmed by several other users, so not just me.
- Yes, stack.imgur.com appears to be down.Cody Gray– Cody Gray2011-08-02 05:29:55 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:29
- yeah, existing images are also not being servedSathyajith Bhat– Sathyajith Bhat2011-08-02 05:49:19 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:49
- @Sathya, that'd be far more serious, but I am not seeing it.Oddthinking– Oddthinking2011-08-02 05:54:15 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:54

- Yep, just happened to me also.Lance Roberts– Lance Roberts2011-08-02 05:58:10 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:58
- Yup, existing images aren't being served across the network. I repro on SO as well as the SU example Sathya's given. I suspect this is a problem on imgur's end, not something the SE devs can fix.Cody Gray– Cody Gray2011-08-02 05:58:15 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:58
- @Sathya, you are right - for some images. This one is working fine for me: i.sstatic.net/TiPqj.png although caching may be a factor. Yes, that seems more important.Oddthinking– Oddthinking2011-08-02 06:08:56 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 6:08
- Its happening again, and looks like it has been disabled again...Merlyn Morgan-Graham– Merlyn Morgan-Graham2011-10-18 18:00:39 +00:00Commented Oct 18, 2011 at 18:00

Yep, looks like a problem with uploads to stack.imgur.com -- we've contacted them via email and phone, and have disabled uploading for now until they can get it fixed.
edit: looks like they fixed it, so we're re-enabling uploads now.

- Going to imgur.com to upload images? What are we, savages?Michael Mrozek– Michael Mrozek2011-08-02 05:33:54 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:33
- @Michael, it's funny, the first thing I did was type in image host etc into Google forgetting that they might host images outside of SE...if that's not a fail in brand awareness, I don't know what is.davidsleeps– davidsleeps2011-08-02 05:35:39 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:35
